Definitions

  • This invention relates to compounds used as agents to control and repel bed bugs.
  • bed bugs infestations Cimex species of human domiciles are on the rise. At least 92 species of bed bugs have been identified globally, of which at least 16 species are in the North American continent. Generally, bed bugs are parasitic pests with its hosts including humans and various domesticated animals. It is believed that bed bug infestations are becoming more problematic now at least in part because long acting, residual insecticides are no longer being used to keep bed bug populations in check. In addition, increased international travel and insecticide resistance have made bed bug infestations spread and made control with insecticides very difficult. In terms of scale, such infestations are of particular concern for hoteliers, cruise ships, trains, daycare facilities, and the like because of the business reputation risk posed by bad press or bad reviews. Other problematic areas tend to include nursing homes, barracks, dorms, hospitals, and various other forms of high density housing. Nonetheless, single family homes can likewise be impacted adversely.
  • bed bugs are not merely unsightly, they leave ugly skin markings.
  • With respect to such commercial bedrooms there is more opportunity for external infection sources to bring bed bugs to the site, and should there be an unknown infestation which causes biting of customers before it is dealt with, there is a severe risk of customer dissatisfaction and adverse publicity, likely leading to a long term significant reputation loss.
  • compositions including a pesticidal natural oil and a polar aromatic solvent for controlling pests are disclosed.
  • US 2012/0046359 A1 discloses bed bug control formulations and a method for achieving control or repellency of bed bugs.
  • US 2012/0030882 A1 discloses a composition and method for treating a textile.
  • WO 2011/040252 A1 a long-lasting pest repellant that has excellent resistance to heat and solvents is disclosed.
  • US 2012/0213836 A1 discloses a pest repellent with excellent heat and solvent resistance that can be kneaded into a resin molded article or synthetic fiber and that has excellent durability and persistence.
  • control and repellency of bed bugs is obtained by contact of the bed bugs with an inhibitory effective amount of at least one of the compounds of the structure (I) wherein

Description

    Field of the Invention
  • This invention relates to compounds used as agents to control and repel bed bugs.
    • Background to the Invention
  • Recent data suggests bed bug infestations (Cimex species) of human domiciles are on the rise. At least 92 species of bed bugs have been identified globally, of which at least 16 species are in the North American continent. Generally, bed bugs are parasitic pests with its hosts including humans and various domesticated animals. It is believed that bed bug infestations are becoming more problematic now at least in part because long acting, residual insecticides are no longer being used to keep bed bug populations in check. In addition, increased international travel and insecticide resistance have made bed bug infestations spread and made control with insecticides very difficult. In terms of scale, such infestations are of particular concern for hoteliers, cruise ships, trains, daycare facilities, and the like because of the business reputation risk posed by bad press or bad reviews. Other problematic areas tend to include nursing homes, barracks, dorms, hospitals, and various other forms of high density housing. Nonetheless, single family homes can likewise be impacted adversely.
  • Bed bugs feed on human blood. Thus, bed bugs are not merely unsightly, they leave ugly skin markings. However problematic this is for residential bedrooms, it is an even more serious problem for hotels and the like. With respect to such commercial bedrooms there is more opportunity for external infection sources to bring bed bugs to the site, and should there be an unknown infestation which causes biting of customers before it is dealt with, there is a severe risk of customer dissatisfaction and adverse publicity, likely leading to a long term significant reputation loss.
  • There have been attempts to control bed bug infestation through applications of insecticidal chemicals to infected areas and materials (especially mattresses). This approach has some drawbacks. For example, it can expose those using a treated area or mattress too soon after application to odor or other undesired characteristics of the pesticidal chemical. Further, unless the chemicals are used regularly, without regard to whether an infestation is known to already exist (a procedure which will significantly increase costs), those sleeping in an infected area can be bitten before one knows to begin treatment.
    In WO 2010/126576 A1 , bed bugs are controlled and repelled by bringing them into contact with a bed bug control formulation containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alkyl ketones and cyclic ketones.
    In WO 2013/050967 A1 , compositions including a pesticidal natural oil and a polar aromatic solvent for controlling pests are disclosed.
    US 2012/0046359 A1 discloses bed bug control formulations and a method for achieving control or repellency of bed bugs.
    US 2012/0030882 A1 discloses a composition and method for treating a textile.
    In WO 2011/040252 A1 , a long-lasting pest repellant that has excellent resistance to heat and solvents is disclosed.
    US 2012/0213836 A1 discloses a pest repellent with excellent heat and solvent resistance that can be kneaded into a resin molded article or synthetic fiber and that has excellent durability and persistence.
  • Another reason for the increase in bed bugs is that pest control services more often nowadays use low toxicity gel-based pesticides for control of cockroaches, the most common pest in structures, instead of residual sprays. When residual sprays meant to kill other insects were commonly being used, they resulted in a collateral insecticidal effect on potential bed bug infestations; the gel-based insecticides primarily used nowadays do not have any effect on bed bugs, as they are incapable of feeding on these baits.
  • There is, therefore, a need for safe and effective chemicals to control or repel bed bugs and for safe and effective means to employ such chemicals for the control or repellency of bed bugs.
    • Summary of the Invention
  • The invention provides a non-therapeutic method for the control and repellency of bed bugs according to claim 1. Further, the invention provides a compound for use in a method for the control and repellency of bed bugs according to claim 14. In accordance with this invention, control and repellency of bed bugs is obtained by contact of the bed bugs with an inhibitory effective amount of at least one of the compounds of the structure (I)
